Would it be smart to buy the springs an sway bars in the combo set? The springs are $154 and the sway bars are $275 so $429 if I buy them separate but if I buy them together its $394. Should I get that or just get a front sway an forget the rear?

buy the whole set springs and sways, you cant just get one sway or the other, they are sold as a set.

 

^^ Yup.

The rear sway would be more helpful anyways. And remember if you get the front sway you will probably not be able to install it yourself.

 

true

 

Wat u guys mean I couldn't install the front sway myself? Also when I said that I might've got the front only I meant find it somewhere online that sells them separately but a question with the rear. Will it interfere with my subs? I know about cars but the lil details are something I lack lol. I kno its sad.

bump

 

The car has to be on a lift, and, correct me if I am wrong, the front subframe must be lowered to put in the sway. Next time you're under your car take a look at the existing one...

I really think you're going to be hard-pressed to find the Hotchkis sway split up and the front sold seperately, but nothing is impossible.

Lets make sure you're talking about the right thing.

Sway bars go under the the car so there would be no reason for your subs to get in the way. Strut bars go inside the car and connect at the top of the strut towers (in the trunk and in the engine bay) and improve body stiffness. The rear one may get in the way of your subs. And just so you know, the sway bars will have a much greater impact.

 

Would I benefit from buying sway an strut bars? BTW thanx for clearin that up for me I thought they were the same thing. Also how cheap has anyone found these rims? The cheapest I can is $350 also I need the tire sensors where I got a '07.

Thomas

 

I don't know about the strut bars, since I have never had them, so you're going to have to search around for that answer. I'd rather put the money into a set of new tires.

 

I'm not really worried on lowering it ATM I'm jus tryin to get the rims. If anything I'll switch the sensors from my stock rims to these then back for the winter. Then over the winter I'll save up for lowering springs, sways an sensors. I'm gonna get the front strut/tower bar coz it makes the engine bay look more sporty. Has anyone had problems with these rims since they're 18x9? BTW thanx for all the info it's really helpin out.

Thomas

 

You can't run the 18x9"s unless you have a widebody kit. 18x8"s are your only option.

 

Whoops my bad misread the info an thought it said 18x9 an it was 18x8. I'm workin on gettin a decent price through this distributer I know. Anyone needs anything for they're cars let me know I can probly get it cheaper.

Axis Widetracks on.....

my car (60mm & 90mm lip) (tein h-tech drop)


stl_tc_king's car (60mm & 90mm lip) (hotchkis drop)


munch's car (90mm & 120mm lip) (progress tech coilovers)


PS - My rims were $1500 w/ tires.

 

these really look good especially the maxis lip in the rear!

 

These rims look great, dont hesitate.

 

just an FYI: you HAVE to have the widebody tC for the 120mm lip to fit.

 

This is true

 

Best looking SW i've seen

Where did you get your front fascia and hood?

 

Also wondering where you got your hood... and pricing..

 

I heard bout either havin to roll the fender or havin a wide body kit for the 120mm so I decided to go with 90mm all the way. The only price I can find them is $350 each anyone know a place cheaper? I'm shootin to get these by the end of summer if possible so over winter I can get suspension work done while runnin stockies. Thanx an those pics were hot.
